Today instead of looking at a roundup of new mashups, we want to focus on one of the busiest developers within the ProgrammableWeb community. Elixiraddons is a Los Angeles based web consultant specializing in creating web site addons. He has 12 mashups listed in our directory with several having been named Mashup of the Day. Take a look below to see some of the best.
With data being both more plentiful and accessible than ever, tools that help users quickly make sense of it become increasingly valuable. As expected, much of the data being used comes from social sites. We come across mashups that access this data and provide interesting ways of looking at it from influence circles, tweet impacts and search results. Here is a look at four that caught our attention.
Sometimes the best mashups are the simplest ones. Those mashups that do one thing and do it well. We like to think of those mashups as tools and today we’re going to take a look at some of the most recent ones that caught our attention. Many of these mashups take advantage of Google’s large collection of APIs such as GoogleMaps and GoogleChart. See below and maybe you’ll find that perfect tool.
This week’s look at the newest and best mashups will focus on one of the most popular APIs, Flickr. With nearly 600 mashups, Flickr is the fourth most used API in our directory. Each of the mashups below have been added since November and make good use of Flickr.
One of the cool things about the web is discovering new things. Whether it’s new music, an great web site or interesting people, the possibility exists for something exciting to be a click away. We constantly get new mashups submitted to our directory that focus on discovery and today we’re bringing you some of the newest and best.
Recently we have seen some imaginative mashups centered on books. From mapping story locations, building communities around book genres and even discovering the most obscure connections between details in your favorite stories, these mashups are nothing short of creative. In addition we’ve rounded up a couple of standard book search and recommendation applications. Some of the popular APIs used include Google Maps and Amazon.
As we sit here in Seattle fighting the snow and ice this week, I find myself looking at a lot of maps. Weather maps that show that the snow will, in fact continue to fall, neighborhood maps to see what others stuck at home are tweeting about, and even maps of warmer places because one can always dream. We took a look at some of our favorite mapping mashups over a year ago so today is a good time to see what is new.
College hackathons have proliferated on the northeast over the past two years, from HackNY to Startup Weekend Princeton, to PennApps, which the Dining Philosophers hold at the University of Pennsylvania on a weekend early in each semester.
This year theme was simplicity; taking a complicated app and making it easier. Of the 42 demos presented Sunday afternoon (livestream archive here), here are some of the coolest hacks that took full advantage of available APIs.
Where do you want to go eat? What movie should we watch? What do you feel like doing this weekend? Any of those questions sound familiar to you? Sometimes the answer is simple, but other times you simply don’t want to be forced to think. Fear not, ProgrammableWeb is here to help for those days when you’d rather let someone else do the decision making for you. These mashups take advantage of popular social APIs such as Twitter, Facebook, Yelp and Last.fm to gather a wide range of recommendations. Give them a try, your new favorite thing may be just around the corner.
Recently we’ve seen a number of foursquare mashups and apps being submitted to our directory so today is a good time to take a look at some of the best. Each of the mashups below take advantage of the foursquare API to perform a variety of tasks from providing real-time info about local places, sharing music playlists, automating check-ins and more. Give these a look and let us know of other great mashups out there.
